.277 150gr Accubond Long Range in a 1:10?

[bdg848]

Nosler has a 1:10 as the minimum and recommends 1:9. I'm just starting to reload and wanting to load these bullets. I'm looking for anyone who has had issues with these in a 1:10 and those who have had good results. I'm shooting a 270 Win, 1:10, 24" if it makes a difference. Thanks in advance.

I’ve been interested in these bullets too. These guys made it work with 1:10

Velocity is impressive too.

If he had 170s stabilize in his gun and his buddies, I think the 150s should be fine then. Thanks for the link, that was interesting.

I shoot the nosler lr 150grain ammunition in my kimber montana. 1:10 twist. It is the most accurate ammunition I have used.

If you load some you should post the results. I’d be interested to hear what you get for velocity and groups.

If you need anymore of the Nosler 150s let me know, I have a nearly full box and no need for them anymore.

I checked on Berger's twist rate calculator, at sea level it only reaches marginal stabilization, this is in a 1:10" at 2800 fps. It does not appear to fully stabilize at any altitude below 2600 ft.

hmmm...yeah, I'm below 2600...
